Patent GB-2483747-A (GB)
Title: Wet electrolytic capacitor cathode structure
Inventor: BILER MARTIN
IPC: H01G9/042
Filed: 2011-08-03
Abstract: The capacitor includes a porous anode body containing a dielectric layer, a metal cathode substrate having a micro-roughened surface on which is disposed a conductive polymer coating, and an electrolyte. The conductive polymer coating is in the form of a dispersion of substituted thiophene particles having a relatively small size, such as an average diameter of from about 1 to about 500 nanometers. The relatively small size of the particles used in the coating increases the surface area that is available for adhering to the metal cathode substrate, which in turn improves mechanical robustness and electrical performance (e.g., reduced equivalent series resistance and leakage current). Another benefit of employing such a particulate dispersion for the conductive polymer coating is that it may be able to better cover crevices of the metal substrate and improve electrical contact.

Title: Insurance card verification system and insurance card verification method
Inventor: EGAWA HIROSHI
IPC: G16H10/65
Filed: 2010-12-08
Abstract: A patient visiting for the second time or later goes through reception by reading a medical card into a first terminal to go through reception. The first terminal reads an insurance card of a patient for which verification of the insurance card is necessary, and at the first terminal automatically matches the insurance card data that have been read with the cross-check-use data within the insurance card DB. The first terminal, if the matching result is a mismatch, reports the necessity for an insurance card verification procedure at a window. A second terminal displays the mismatching portion between the insurance card data read at the first terminal and the cross-check-use data, and receives input by personnel of insurance card data for the mismatching portion. The data that have been input at the second terminal are stored as new cross-check-use data in the insurance card DB. A third terminal acquires a list of patients scheduled to be seen from a visit number management DB and displays thereof, additionally reads medical cards of the patients scheduled to be seen, and distinguishes patients that have been read from other patients in displaying the patient list.
